In the arrest of two minors in Ilioupoli the authorities proceeded last night for an armed robbery at a pharmacy.

Specifically, shortly after 19:00, two 17-year-olds, armed with a gun and wearing hoods, entered a pharmacy in Ilioupoli and after threatening the pharmacist, stole money.

Eight people were brought in from EL.AS searches in the wider area, while the pharmacist who was called to identify the perpetrators among them recognized one.

The minor was arrested and taken to the local AT, while late at night the second 17-year-old perpetrator voluntarily went to the police station and surrendered.

In the video provided by shows the moment when the two 17-year-olds carry out the robbery at the pharmacy in Ilioupoli at gunpoint.

As can be seen in the video, the two perpetrators wearing hoods and masks for the corona virus enter the store, while one with a long gun is directed at the pharmacist who is behind the counter.

The second one seems to have the role of a chiller, as he strolls through the pharmacy to find out if there are any other people inside.

The 17-year-old at gunpoint persistently demands the day’s receipts, while also pointing the gun at another person who happened to be in the pharmacy at the time.

The pharmacist gives him the money, but the 17-year-old is “in a hurry” and reaches into the cash register to take it all.

After quickly emptying the cash register, he flees with his accomplice.

After searches by ELAS, the one perpetrator of the robbery was located, where a replica gun, a flare and money were found on him.

Late in the evening, the second 17-year-old juvenile offender went voluntarily and surrendered

Arrest of two more minors

A little later and specifically at 23:05 on Pindou and Parnassos Street in Rentis, a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old, after breaking the window of a parked car, entered it and stole money that the owner had left inside.

They were identified and arrested by the DIAS team
